I shoot reloads only, mine of course. So here's the question:
The other day I was shooting my .308 at 200 yards. 168g SMK over Varget. The load isn't important because it'll be different in your stick. They were grouping consistently at .63" for 5 shots (this was an average of multiple relays). The 168's will always shoot sub MOA.
One of the people next to me was evaluating commercial ammunition for her job. She asked me if I ever shoot commercial ammo and I told her never. She then offered me 5 rounds of FGMM, 168g also. I tried them and they grouped a few inches lower and about 3" to the right, but the group was also about .75" center to center.
What makes FGMM shoot so well in a wide variety of rifles (almost throws harmonics out the window) and why would one sequence group well at one location while another groups well but to the right? I can understand higher or lower, but to the right? Why lateral?
So I guess there's two questions, the secret behind FGMM and lateral impact.
Stay well people.
